Imagine that……must be a bullshit story though. The only culture they have in the Mac is jacked up trucks and lucky lager.
Climb off your cross. I tried to discuss this with you without crapping on the people in Ft Mac with no response. You never even attempted to show that this was anything more than your opinion. Despite this article that agrees with your POV there is still nothing to support that this was a major factor. The point most of us were making is that the town at large is not safety trained and don't run safety drills in their living room AND that people outside Ft Mac are not imbeciles walking through a Nerf world like you want to believe.
I have read plenty of the evacuees stories and they are all pretty much the same. They heard the news, packed what they could and tried driving out of town, giving rides where they could to people walking. Quite a few people ran out of gas and just left there vehicles. This is where luck played a role, because if the fire managed to burn cars and block the highway things would have been a lot different and there would have been panic I assure you.
Even the dipshits managed to get in their cars and leave, and yes, there are plenty of dipshits in Ft Mac. There were even people that didn't leave at all, but they got lucky.
That is just my opinion, but you can take it personally if you have to.
